Abstract: |
In January and February 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out historic building recording and archaeological monitoring and recording at Pollards Farm, The Common, Harpenden, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL5 3PE (NGR: TL 1078 1589). The recording was commissioned by Alistair Newton at Gauld Architecture and was undertaken in advance of the proposed conversion of a barn at Pollards Farm to provide residential accommodation, a new basement and alterations to openings. The recording was a condition of planning approval (St Albans Ref. 5/2013/1535 and 5/2013/1539). Technical analysis revealed the building, and its ancillary structures to be of later 19th century date, and it was constructed as a hay barn and store. It is built entirely in softwood, and in a manner consistent with a date around the 1860s to '80s. It remains in good condition, little altered from its original form. The monitoring of groundworks associated with the conversion of the barn did not reveal archaeological features or finds. |
